Lactose intolerance is divided into two categories: primary and secondary, and can be confirmed by the lead acetate method to determine the amount of lactose in the stool of the child for primary screening, and then quickly after the de-lactose diet. In case of so-called physiological breast milk diarrhea, do not switch to milk for the sake of stool formation. The infant’s organism will gradually adapt to the prostaglandins in breast milk, and the lactase enzyme will gradually develop and mature, with increased enzyme activity, so that it can break down, digest and absorb lactose, and gradually improve with the addition of complementary foods. Also note that children should not cover the nipple, after each side of the breast is basically empty, if you continue to suck, the amount of fat in the milk will increase, which can easily cause lipid indigestion, advocate to suck on sucking, do not suck on stopping.
